सति त्वस्मिन्कुतो दृश्ये निर्विकल्पसमाधिता ।
समाधौ चेतनत्वं तु तुर्यं चाप्युपपद्यते ॥ ३३ ॥

sati tvasminkuto dṛśye nirvikalpasamādhitā |
samādhau cetanatvaṃ tu turyaṃ cāpyupapadyate || 33 ||

It is hard to have a fixed (nirudha) and unalterable (nirvikalpa) meditation (samadhi), when the sight of the visible world is present before our bodily and mental vision. Even the fourth stage of insensible samadhi called the turiya, in the state of sound sleep (susupti), is soon succeeded by one's self-consciousness and external intelligence.
